Breasseale said Joerg is processing 71 of the prison’s 166 inmates for reviews: 46 “indefinite detainees,” a category created by an Obama task force in 2010 that includes prisoners considered too dangerous to release but for whom there is no evidence to justify a criminal trial, and 25 other detainees who in 2010 were listed as candidates for trials by military commissions or civilian courts. Since then, the chief war-crimes prosecutor, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, has decided to pursue fewer cases, citing a federal court ruling that “providing material support for terrorism” is not a war crime applicable to Guantanamo’s current detainee population.
